Effective sinus care depends on an accurate diagnosis. In the past, that often meant the inconvenience of going to a hospital to get a CT scan in a full-body machine. Not anymore. Wellendorff ENT is one of the first practices in Iowa to introduce the MiniCAT, a fast, in-office CT scanner.
MiniCAT is a new kind of small, high-tech CT scanner designed around patient ease and comfort. Unlike typical hospital scanners, you sit upright in an open environment. Amazingly, scans take only 40 seconds for adults and 20 seconds for children, with significantly lower radiation than full-body scanners. They produce high quality digital images, which Dr. Wellendorf can review with you on the laptop right in the exam room.
